As a scheduled task runs, you can monitor the status of the task and view the number of times the task has triggered
an action on a job or report. You can also view an audit of all changes made to the scheduled task.

Scheduler Overview

The scheduler manages long-running scheduled tasks. A scheduled task periodically
triggers an action on a job or report at the specified frequency. For example, a scheduled
task can start or stop a job or generate a data delivery report on a weekly or monthly
basis.

A scheduled task simply
triggers an action on a job or report, it does not monitor nor control the job or
report. For example, if a scheduled task triggers a job start and then the scheduled
task is paused, finished, or even deleted, that has no effect on the active job.
Similarly, if a scheduled task triggers a job start and then the job is manually
stopped, that has no effect on the scheduled task.

You can schedule task execution every specific number of minutes or on an hourly, daily,
weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. You can use the UI to define a simple expression or
you can define your own advanced expression using the UNIX cron expression syntax.

A scheduled task can start running immediately after creation and can continue running
indefinitely. Or, you can define when a scheduled task starts and ends.

You can monitor scheduled tasks by viewing the number of times the task has triggered an
action on a job or report. You can also view an audit of all changes made to the
scheduled task.
